PLUNGE

posted by Ralph White

“Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~ For some people, years of research and careful calculation on major life-changing decisions are imperative. Then there are those who let the cards fall where they may, as they plunge into the “thick of life” with no thought or vigilance. This painting is called Plunge as it illustrates a big splashing leap of faith into life. It takes courage to dive into something without seeing the end result. There’s always a chance of failure, but you can’t build life experience if you don’t try new things. Explore the possibilities…

AN EMOTIONAL APPROACH TO PAINTING

posted by Cathy Locke

A Discussion with Two Artists: Jennifer Almodova – When did your perceptions of how you give value to art move to a new paradigm? Cathy Locke– I began seriously painting as a fine artist in the early 1990s. I studied with lots of people and took every workshop I could afford to go to. After about eight to ten years of painting, I began to notice that everyone’s work started to look the same to me. Of course there were variations in skill, but the work looked basically the same, one painting to the next. After several years of painting seven days a week, I came right back up against that ugly wall of technique vs. emotional quality in my work.

"THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS PAINTER"

posted by Alberto Thirion

"The world's most famous painter" "Once a dog barked at a mask that did, was the most honorable comment I have received." - Leonora Carrington I came to think that Demian Hirst, called the world's most famous painter, not if items paid or outdated journalists but that I have read on several occasions. He was misnamed, but I was wrong, he is certainly the most famous painter English-speaking world, his art faithfully represents the environment that produced it, ie that of a decadent society. Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol, actually they were just doing the same thing a few years ago, ie, painting her decadent world and announcing what was coming, that is the "art" (I say art for calling it somehow) of Demian Hirst.
